HAPPY CLIENTS

"VERIFIED TENANT""My name is Jamail. I am a single living dad of two beautiful children, and I am a teacher who hit a rocky road in life to the point I needed property and pretty quickly as well before it started affecting my job. It took me seven days in total to secure a property; it was hard graft, but I wanted to find somewhere I could call home and somewhere which was long-lasting that I loved instead of just taking what was given to me and hating the house every day I wake up. I was continually searching for a property day and night. I came up against snotty landlords to really nice ones and some houses that were too small and some that were too big etc. it was draining. But with the help from the help2rent team, it all seemed possible, and I'm not just saying that to blow their trumpet I really generally am grateful for all the work they/she done to get me into a property honestly the council wasn't as efficient as help2Rent, and I don't know what I would have done without them. It meant everything to be on this project especially mentally because I hit a point where I was going to give up it was so challenging and the anxiety caused was high but with the help2Rent team they kept that at bay and gave me hope to keep fighting for what I deserve as a working dad of two. I think this project will help thousands, and this project needs recognition from every board possible because it saved my life literally, so again, I thank you so so much for all the work and continuous empathetic help. I hope you can be assistance to many more. Jamail"

"VERIFIED TENANT""My name is Emma Catherine; I'm 44 single-parent. Physically disabled. Help2srent help has been amazing. I'm a single parent who has a physical disability. I was placed on the outskirts of London for over eight months in Temporary Accommodation. I had no hope of returning to my home area. I had registered with HELP2RENT and checking their site for suitable accommodation. London Landlords have no time for Tennant's on any form of DWP I had spoken to many, and without a job or a 75,000 guarantee, I had no hope in PRIVATE RENTED SECTOR. HELP2RENT answered my prays. One Sunday morning, sending me an email about a two-bed flat in the area I needed to be near family. Help2rent helped me and my family endlessly for nearly three weeks negotiating with Landlords Breaking down the barriers and supporting me threw the turmoil of disappointment and giving me hope to keep trying and not to take rejection personally.... I'm relocated in South London in a property that suits my need. And feel 100 percent supported in my new tenancy. All thanks to HELP2RENT... Thanks again Emma Catherine"

"VERIFIED TENANT"Dear Help2Rent My mother and I were leaving in a hostel desperate and hopeless that our situation will not change anytime soon. We were receiving calls from the council about flats that were not entitled to us. They will call us numerous times to view a place and will call us back that the flat was gone, we exhausted. Also, our documents and all the paperwork were incorrect or incomplete, but no one thought about telling us. We will try to contact our social worker, but we will hear nothing. When we found Help2rent , they helped us get our paperwork in order, and we’re with us every step of the way. We went from months of endless waiting to get a beautiful flat in two weeks. It was not easy, but the team were patient and happy to help us through everything. We will always be grateful for help2rent and all their hard work. Thank you very much Sara

Successful Mother & Daughter

Help2Rent took away all the worry of letting our property out of our hands.We moved from England to the continent and left Help2Rent to arrange house clearance, electrical work, boiler maintenance, decorating and cleaning. All this was expediently done to a high standard. Work was inspected by Help2Rent and if it did not come up to scratch they chased up the company concerned until they were satisfied. Every e-mail was answered promptly and I was kept informed at every stage. Within days Help2Rent had found excellent tenants for a monthly rent that had exceeded my expectations. Help2Rent are simply the best!

I have been in the property rental business for over twenty five years.I have been using Help2Rent Lettings agency for just over a year now and in that time have started to transfer across a lot of my portfolio.I have many managing agencies around the UK and keep a performance league table based on many factors. In the short time I have been using Help2Rent catapulted into first in my league table of over 15 agencies. They are resourceful, polite, efficient and hardworking and in my opinion they have the best staff

Working for the community at cost effecitive rates

Help2Rent is a great Social Letting Agency and stands on the side of the Tennant not the landlord which is uncommon, Any issues we had, They got in touch with the landlord promptly and dealt with the issue. They helped us all through the Letting of the flat while we lived in it and made sure we had another tenant was ready to move in. Really going to miss them.
